I've only got the two.  Aside from you and me, Marlin B. and Dan Kramer
are bringing 8-bits, and Nir Dary will be there (from Israel!) with some
gear, as will Bob Woolley (but no gear).  So, hopefully, between us we
either can find a way to hook you up, or we can just decide it's fine
that one fewer 8-bit is hooked up.  (As it is, we'll have 5 or 6!)

Any luck?

I'm thinking Dos Coyotes for dinner, since my wife can find something
to eat there, it's kid-friendly and my kids like it, and it's spacious
with indoor & outdoor seating.

I'm gearing towards the one in south Davis, on Cowell Blvd, in the
Oakshade Town Center shopping center (near Office Max). [*]

Google Map:

Note: If you travel on E street, south of 1st and under the
train tracks in downtown, it becomes Richards.  Keep going on that
over the I-80 overpass and it becomes Cowell.  The shopping
center is on the left, just before the Pole Line Road intersection.
(You can also turn into it from Pole Line, either direction.)

I'm thinking 6pm or so (my family's dinner time -- gotta keep
the kids from rampaging ;) )

[*] Amazing possibility for confusion!  Both Dos Coyoteses in Davis
    are in shopping centers with a Safeway and a pet food store!
    One is on Cowell, the other on Covel.  They are basically
    opposite corners of town!
